I think that there is something else note worthy on the Tiobe news this month,
scroll down the index index page to the November News flash and you'ss see this
tidbit...

 In 2 months time we will announce the "programming language of 2007". Last
years winner Ruby is favourite to win the title again closely followed by D and

Delphi also got ahead of D again.

Should jump much higher when D 2.0 is final and stable with the spec is
published.

A proper book would also help.  I know Walter's too busy to do that though.
Might even start stealing a few Lispers. :)

It's interesting; if you look at the deltas between now and exactly one
year ago, the only language with a faster growth than D (+1.02%) is Ruby
(+1.37%).

And check out these deltas:

C		-3.23%
C++		-2.03%
Perl		-1.49%

Visual Basic	+0.76%
JavaScript	+0.62%
Python		+0.59%

Clearly, people are no longer listening to Dijkstra :P  Visual Basic has
actually gone up over C++, which is frankly kinda scary.

As usual, Tiobe, grain of salt; but it's interesting none the less.

VB will be wherever newbies roam. I guess more people are getting into
programming lately, which is good (assuming they don't stick with VB for too
long).

He didn't like the "goto" statement, he considers it bad for programmers
and the programs they wrote... and since Basic is THE "goto"-language
per se. ;-)

Well, if you use D, you are using a compiler which Dijkstra woudln't 
have liked (the way it is programmed). :-)

There is surely something to this - but then BASIC in those days was a
completely different language from BASIC today. Todays BASICs are more
like sloppy Pascal dialects. Still bad enough, though.
